Just wanted to show you guys how the babies are doing! They all have feathers now, all are on 3 feedings a day. They're starting to groom themselves and flap their wings, getting ready to learn how to fly! They will be getting their first nail trims this weekend.

The older three (tweety and sylvester's babies) have been pulled for handfeeding today! They are currently settling into their new brooder, snuggled up to a teddy bear! These little guys are going to be very sweet, cuddly birds when they grow up.
Tango and cha-cha's two are still with their parents, but they will be joining the older trio next weekend. The older babies are now posted in our "available birds" page! Price and details can be found there. We have even MORE exciting news! Our white face lutino/fallow hen and cinnamon pearl male have an egg! It would be expected to hatch around November 14th. We will post more updates on the new parents as they become available! but now, BABY PICTURES!!!! Hey everyone! Just wanted to post some current baby pics! Check their captions for details!
Hey everyone! After receiving several (some questionable) emails, I just want to post a quick reminder: we are NOT currently looking to purchase any birds, cockatiel or otherwise. If we are looking to buy, we will post it both on this forum and on our "home" page. If you need help finding your bird a home, we are more than happy to ask around or point you in the right direction though!
Thanks for understanding! The babies are lively, sweet, and growing fast! The oldest is now a little over 2 weeks old, and the youngest is about a week old. It's looking like we have 2 lutinos, 1 cin pearl pied, 2 pieds, and 1 either pied or normal. We were having issues with the babies slipping out of their bands, so their numbers are in order. Once everyone has pins and bands I'll post a final availability, price, and info list.
Well, the babies are all around a week old now. You know what that means? BANDS! The older three were banded on 10/8, the other three will be banded on tuesday. Band number:
2014NCS 17C 1-6. In other news, eyes are starting to open! these guys are just getting cuter by the day. We are at 6 babies right now, with one more egg! If anyone is interested in one, feel free to email us at [email protected]. Babies will be ready to go to their new homes around the last week of November/first week of December. Transport and drop off between central Maine and northern NJ can be arranged!!
Babies are starting to hatch! So far, we have 1 lutino and one pied, with 6 more eggs due to hatch over the next week or so. Here's the first of many baby pics!
